This is almost just the same as what I was going to post.

Sergio Gavazzo que genero es esta canción??

Jack A me too! And we’re in 2017 almost 2018 and I always come hear her in this performance

Same. So awesome

Wow, 26 +1's on my comment!

there you go, I added one more "like". Well, if Carly isn't the best audition on any of these shows, then I'd say she has to be in the Top 5. Now, I haven't seen ALL the auditions on ALL of these type of shows, but I have seen a lot of the "BEST" from around the world. There are some amazingly talented people out there. Now, they pretty much gave her "full time" to sing her song. But in most cases the person has 1 minute!! So the song is cut down. But amazing auditions that I've seen...... Jonathan and Charlotte - Britain's Got Talent, a few years ago. Sam Bailey (woman) - X Factor UK 2013, she won. She had it won from day one. Amelia Lily (16) - X factor UK 2011, singing Janis Joplin's "Pieces of My Heart", she came in 3rd. Shiane Hawke, 14 years old, X Factor Australia 2012, singing "Mercy" by "Duffy", better than Duffy did the original. There was this Chinese man and woman on a Chinese singing show "The Voice" or something. Now the man sang well, but the gal was unbelievable!! and beautiful too!! There was this 22 year old South Korean laborer guy who auditioned on Korean singing show. There are so many. Too many to recall at this moment. Look for video clips in here "Best Auditions.........blah blah blah" and you'll find some amazing auditions. As for Carly, there is a video of all of her performance on X Factor, in youtube here. That is a very nice watch.

aspenrebel Yes, I know of Sam Bailey. Her duet with Nicole Sherzinger (sp?) was simply astonishing. The best performance I've ever seen. I followed X Factor UK this year and was surprised that Fleur East didn't win, but am happy for Ben Haenow. Btw, 'aspenrebel' - are you from Aspen? Just curious. Cheers!

Matt Robinson Yeah, Nicole can SING!! She is GORGEOUS!! Well I'd say that it was 50/50 between Ben and Fleur, Ben probably got 50+1 and Fleur 50-1 votes. I didn't like her at the beginning. Her audition wasn't great, and after that either. She's 27, but she came out like she was still 18 singing in 4 girl group like she was 9 years before when she was on the show. Then at Simon's Judge's HOuse, she "broke out". Simon said to the gal assisting him "I don't even remember her". Then she gave a more mature and sophisticated performance. She grew on the show. Ben has that unique way of singing, like he has this tiny little reverb machine at the back of his throat. He grew too, got more confident, more settled with himself. So I'd say it was 50/50. However.....Lola was my pick, my gal. But she was just so scared and nervous. There were some others who should have been there too, but weren't. Can't think of their names now. But I miss "Blonde Electra" and "Only the Young". hee hee hee. But both Ben and Fleur are shocked that they were final two, so Ben must be going nuts now. No more driving a delivery van for him, I guess, huh? Also, check out Niki Evans, from several years ago, her performance of "Total Eclipse of the Heart". Amazing. No, I am not from Aspen, I'm in Boston. But some of those other people, auditions, their clips are off to the right here, check them out.

aspenrebel Very cool. Mark and Donnie Wahlberg are from Boston right? They have both become great actors in my opinion. I loved Donnie in Band of Brothers - I'm a bit of a WWII buff. Thoughts on the New Kids reunion? Are you a fan? As far as X Factor UK, my man is still Stevi Ritchie!!! :) I'm in Oklahoma. I enjoy learning where folks are from. Its fascinating to me.

Who won?

+Harmonizer Duhh Tate Stevens

+Demi Lovato im pretty sure she was second and then fifth harmony was third

Kaitlyn Haggard she had Broadway exprience its unfair to others

I wonder where she is now.

Like most singers on this show, she crashed and burned.

​@@user-jy4vz7fo7bI don't think that she crashed and burned. I heard her fairly recently. Watched her in a video. She just seemed to be singing weird songs in a weird way. With her brother, or some male, playing guitar. I dunno, Maybe she just keeps trying to do original songs and doesn't want to do other people's songs.

But definitely one of my top favorites of any first audition singing on any of these shows..

She’s still young.

+нυssαɪи нυᴊαɪяɪ that's exactly what i was thinking haha!!

+нυssαɪи нυᴊαɪяɪ LETS GO BACK HOME! I WONT DO THE RIDICULOUS HERE! xD

+нυssαɪи нυᴊαɪяɪ - I'm sure they weren't.

hahahaha totaly xD

+нυssαɪи нυᴊαɪяɪ Best comment I've seen in relation to this performance lol!

Exactly, she truly is one of the very few rare people on earth who truly have been blessed with the special gift of singing absolutely perfectly with confidence, control, soul, and charisma with zero flaws. Truly remarkable, and wow at 13 singing like that… I am speechless

Tate Stevens won. He was an older man, country singer I think, but I haven't bothered to listen to any of his performances, so I can't comment on how good he is or isn't. This was 2 years ago, I believe, so where he is now, I don't know. Look him up. I listened to Nina Simone sing this from 1965. In my opinion she should be embarrassed and ashamed of her performance compared with Carly's performance here in this video. I'll compare it to the difference between Bruce Springsteen singing his original version of his song he wrote, "Blinded By The Light" and the version done by "Manfred Mann" (the one we all know). The difference between Day and Night!!!

aspenrebel Tate sucked. too bad.Who can compare w/ Nina? No one. But she'd LOOOVE Carly--b/c Carly has a unique stye that no one has. And she is amazeballs~.

aspenrebel I believe 8 or 9 months after Tate Steven won, the record label dropped him because of piss poor sales. He was a mediocre singer at best, and never deserved to win. But shows like X Factor are a popularity contest, not a talent competition.

Kaela Ann Curry ALL SHOWS are a Popularity Contest.....DUH.....why do you think that you've only heard of only a FEW American Idol winners. Believe me I bet Carly also got some kind of "Contract" too...but hey...there are over 350 million people in this country and probably "AT LEAST" a third have a good/great singing voice....but if you dont come up with that right song at the right time then you are DONE.!!!!...In my Opinion the "RIGHT PERSON" won...America spoke and said so.

Well said

+Aspen Truman You would have hated to have auditioned after Carly Rose, before her, any time around her. Cuz you would have lost!!!

+aspenrebel Not entirely true seen as she came second.

Well the only reason Carly Rose came in 2nd was .... 1) the guy who won was a middle aged journeyman hack country singer who gave a sob story about how he quite his job and had a wife and kidx to support. After win his career djd nothing cuz he is just lime a 1000 others. 2) Leann Rimes screwed Carly Rose o er during their duet. 3) the viewers/voters probsbly figured she is just 13, too young to win, she has her who,e life ahead of her. ...... the guy who won was not that hood. IMO

exactly, she sang way better than LeAnn rimes, and the guy that won did nothing after, America just felt bad and believed a 13 year old didnt deserved to win.

True that

no cause I’ve never heard of the person who beat her

Jack A THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! Someone who can recognize, hear, and appreciate true raw singing talent. I keep coming back to it too. It cracks me up everytime the black man judge throws up his hands and says "WHAT?". But you might want to watch the very first one of these videos I ever saw on here (cuz I never watched these shows before, but I do now), Shiane Hawke, X Factor Oz 2012 maybe??? She was only 14. A complete shock, that voice coming out of that person. Do they really have "India Got Talent"? I've seen some surprises on those China shows. Have you seen the one, a guy and a gal. The guy is kinda of goofy looking, but the gal is beautiful!! And they sing incredibly and play instruments. Then in another video, they are joined by another guy? But the gal has a beautiful voice.

This might be my hundredth time :) :) "feeling good" to know that its not just me!

aspenrebel I like to watch the Voice KIds from different countries and there are some amazing singers at 10 and 12 years old.

+Dhanish Mohan OK, so now that makes 3 of us who can appreciate the true singing talent of Carly Rose, and the best version of "Feeling Good" ever sung by anyone ever. Also check out Carly Rose when she sang "Feeling Good" again, in the Finals of this X Factor USA 2012. She is such an intelligent professional singer, that she changed it up a bit from how she sang it here in her audition. She should have won, but she came in second cuz all viewers voting fell for the sad story of that middle aged country singer guy (whose career has gone nowhere from what I understand).

aspenrebel exactly, I feel he cheated or was crying for the people to vote for him by giving that sob story. You don’t win by making people feel sorry for you, he should have been disqualified for unsportsmanlike behavior

I put this in the category of Buster Douglas, Kerri Strug, and Jeremy Lin in 'Greatest seizing the big-stage moment' auditions.

And get a thumbs up

IKR the other guy was bad!

blame it on Leann Rimes.

She just didn't get enough votes. I don't think Leann Rimes had a thing to do with it. With these shows it's mostly just a popularity contest.

yeah, but hey, britney also got 2nd place when she was on a contest like this when she was little and look at her now. The boy that won disappeared into obscurity.

Yes, that's what I'm saying. It's mostly just a popularity contest. The best doesn't always win. Also, look at Jennifer Hudson. I don't think she even made it to the top 5.

Noemi come stai?

that girl can sang!!!

They should have aired the entire audition uncut

To be fair, she was actually a Broadway actor that was scouted for the show. They actually invited her on. And, she should've won. She was better than the country guy that won.

Aaron H hjfnnk

Totally agree I am In the south as well .Drives me bonkers. They will vote for the "country " singer no matter what

She lost because Rimes was drunk and messed her up on her final song.

+pghpa611 wth are u talking about

+pghpa611 she was on broadway well before this show

+112233jjooee And your point??????? Just appreciate the talent!!!

Dave1854 ...

hknk

Max Ride -

He is trying to revive the show.

+PONZI bullshit, look her up dude, she's ben on broadway since she was an toddler

Lmaoo

+PONZI Does seem like her dad's jaw is on the floor

+PONZI well, he was seeing his daughter do something quite amazing. I love his reaction

+Jaclyn Sloan Exactly!! His reaction was to the crowd going crazy right at that moment.

well she has been doing it since 4 yrs old shes a professional

ms mimilala

mari gentile

It's 3/3/2020,,,I've watched it 100 times in the last 2 weeks.

A fantastic singer with a compassionate heart.

Dont go to far now bro.. We all know who's the best voice in the universe:)

+tim kalič Who would that be?

Carly u r the best X-Factor contestant ever...

Ahahaha, when Carly sings your song, u are no longer the author

wanted to finish school 😯

Actually she was already a child actress and singer before she came on the show. Look her up. Extraordinary regardless!

she comes off snotty...

She is very famous in Brazil and many other countries just not in USA

@@brookebruni7999 no shes just the best and she knows it, you can be as confident as you are good and she's on another level

YES!!!

It all makes sense now....

Agree! I think that was actually the best part of her audition! So poised and - professional!
